Title: First attempt at sous vide pork chops
Post by: KJRsmoker on February 26, 2018, 01:03:40 PM

I bought some nice inch-and-half thick pork chops from Costco.  I seasoned 2 of them with some BBQ seasoning, 3 of them with rosemary/garlic rub (along with some fresh rosemary), and 4 with just salt & pepper.  Vacuum sealed and into the hot tub for 1.5 hours.  Seared them on the gas grill using my Grill Grates for a minute on each side.  They turned out fantastic - very juicy and tender.  Definitely going to cook these more often.

They look great! :thumbup: :thumbup: I love the Sous Vide for its convenience and great food! I have chicken breast seasoned with cilantro & jalapeno taking a bath right now as I just got a notification that the ice bath was above 40F  - they will be ready for chicken soft tacos tonight when I get home from work!

They look really good, but Kimmie would never go for such a nice looking chop I'd have to burn them and that's why I don't use sous vide :( :( :(

Looks good. Did you put any olive oil or butter in with the chops? How did the pack of four cook compared to others?

I did not put any olive oil or butter in with the chops.  The four with just S&P were for the kids.  I thought they tasted great - just plain pork flavor.  My kids just dipped them in ketchup so they didn't really savor the pork flavor but they said it was good.

Great first cook! Pork chops are one of our favorites to do sous vide.

I was more curious since there was four in one vacuum seal bag, where typically I individual seal each one.  thanks.

Those are gorgeous.  Like Tailgatin, I purchased a full set of sous vide gear (Anova, water vessel and lid to prevent evaporation, new vacuum sealer) and haven't actually broken it all in.  I need to do so ... juicy porkchops are a thing of beauty.
